April 14, 2021 MEMORANDUM TO: Margaret M. Doane Executive Director for Operations Digitally signed by Christopher T. Hanson FROM: Chairman Hanson Christopher T. Hanson Date: 2021.04.14 13:26:36 -04'00'
SUBJECT:
THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS MEMORANDUM TITLED: UNI-DIRECTIONAL COMMUNICATIONS (NOT IMPLEMENTED IN SOFTWARE)
FROM HIGH SAFETY TO LOWER SAFETY SYSEMS AND INTERNAL PLANT TO EXTERNAL SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET On March 31, 2021, Chairman Sunseri of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) provided me a memorandum titled, Uni-Directional Communications (Not Implemented in Software) From High Safety to Lower Safety Systems and Internal Plant to External Systems Connected to the Internet. In this memorandum, Chairman Sunseri stated that Commission direction to the staff is needed to assure, during design reviews, that only uni-directional hardware-based data communications mechanisms are used when there are communications between High Safety-Significance systems and those of Lower Safety-Significance.
I direct the NRC staff to undertake a review and within 90 days provide the Commission information on how the issues raised by the ACRS have been addressed. If the staff determines that no regulatory actions are warranted, the staff should provide the Commission with the staffs basis for that conclusion.
